Appointment, in New Orleans from the 02 to the 05, for one of the best events of May.
Music, art and innovation are at the center of another non-European event. DGTL makes the 04 / 05 stop in Sao Paulo, Brazil. If you find yourself in these parts, drop by Mart Center in Vila Guilherme. Here, we dance from the 20: 00 to the 08: 00 in the morning of the following day. Guaranteed fun.
